Trip Description

This is a very underrated area and this would be my second time there.

It is a long drive on logging roads: about 75km one way, so it takes around 3h one way, hence the very early start!

There is a bit of scrambling involved but very mild. If you are afraid of heights, don't join the trip.

A bit of trailfinding would be required as well at the start of the trail as there is fresh work being done in the forest .

The road should be drivable in any car, but the last few 3 km is 4x4 only. Please mention what type of car do you have.

Please be considerate and do not sign up unless you are 100% committed for the trip and you are in very good physical condition. 

Will be moving at a moderate-fast pace. Not for slow people, sorry.

MUST have :

  • Food and water for the whole day
  • First aid kit!
  • Bear spray
  • Hiking poles are optional but highly recommended!
  • Helmet is mandatory for the peak portion
Distance: 16km Elevation Gain: 1200m Summit area 2117m Estimated Time: 6-8hrs
